Subak is believed was very popular between 1147 and 1170 AD. What is very important about Subak is that a book was printed to teach the game as a martial art,and it became more popular among the general public.
People employed by the military department of the royal government were eager to learn Subak, it was included as one of the major subjects on application exam.
In 1945, Korea was liberated from Japan. A group of Korean masters made a special effort to revitalize the traditional art. After twenty-one centuries of struggling to exist, it is now practiced in over 190 countries, and is now an official olympic sport.
Tae Kwon Do is the Korean art of self defense. Is designed as nonviolent art and system of complete body exercise as well as being a way of life it includes physical techniques, mental discipline, and a deep philosophy.
The complete history of Tae Kwon Do is quit lengthy. Tae Kwon Do was practiced during the silla dynasty. People trained their bodies and their minds. Hwarando was an essential part of silla's struggle to unify the whole country.In the history of Korea, Tae Kwon Do was called Subak.
At that time people practiced not for exercise, health, or sport activity, they practiced as martial art of considerable value. Historical records testified that since the Korean dynasty Tae Kwon Do was practiced as an organized sport for spectators.
